A New Ottoman Policy

W orld War I was both the final and the military phase of the

British deep state's century-old policy to maintain and expand
its global exploitation system, and to eliminate any threats to

its reign. The first steps of the strategy was economic, political as well as

diplomatic, and mostly targeted the two big empires that Britain considered
th
rivals during the 19 century. The first was the German Colonial Empire. Ger-
mans had been getting stronger in Europe as well as in world's colonial mar-

kets, emerging as Britain's primary rival. The second one was the Ottoman

Empire, which had long been the target of British fascination.

The case of Germany wasn't really complicated. The progress and growth
of the Empire had to be stopped one way or another. However, it was a dif-

ferent story when it came to the Ottoman Empire. The British deep state ben-
efited from its continuance but, at the same time, was worried about it. It was

because the Empire was strategically and economically important for Britain.
